The students of Milton Peter College are in the process of chartering their first Interact Club.
In coming vice-president Celine Verheij stated: " As you may know Rotary Interact Club is a junior form of the well-known Rotary Club International. Our soon to be established Club consists of students from Milton Peters College ages 13 to 18. As you may have heard and seen there are three other Interact clubs on the island, namely at Learning Unlimited, St. Maarten Academy and St Dominic High School."
The main goal of MPC Interact club is to support the community and also to bring awareness to the
community in general, to show the positive side of MPC. The official installation night of the new club, will take place on Friday March 26th 2010 from 6:00 pm till 8.30 pm at MPC. Rotarians, Interacters of other schools and Roteract members are welcomed to share in this wonderful occasion. "We are very excited about starting this new club as we will be able to support the community and help them. We will be hosting
many events in time to come, our first event is a car wash at Kooyman. This fundraising event is being sponsored by Kooyman and it includes the products and space where the car wash will be held on Saturday March 20th 2010 from 10 am till 3 pm. The money raised will go towards the establishment of the MPC Interact Club and hopefully if enough funds are raised to allow the club to get their first project started", says Celine. Tickets will be available from the incoming members of the MPC Interact club for a contribution of $10. "You don’t have to buy a ticket in advance so you can also turn up on Saturday 20th March, the car wash starts at 9 am".
The planning of the official installation has been on-going for some time now; the incoming-board has come
together a number of times to discuss different ideas. Great effort is being put into making this installation night special in order to show everyone that MPC can deliver many good things to the community.
On the program for the March 26th is an auction, several interesting items will be available such as a selection of electronics and jewelry to help raise money for upcoming projects. This will really be a special evening for us at MPC and we feel that this night will be a great success as we will receive our official Interact club pins, bell and banner. It gives us great pride to tell the community of this success. Of course we
would not be able to have done this without the support of several MPC staff members and help from members of the St. Maarten Rotary Club as this Rotary Club is sponsoring the Milton Peters College Interact Club. On behalf of all the students of MPC who are part of this event we would like to thank you all for your help and care: concludes Celine Verheij.
